NEWS RELEASE
Henry Schein, Inc. - 135 Duryea Road - Melville, New York 11747
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HENRY SCHEIN REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
EPS from continuing operations increases 8% to $0.90,
excluding restructuring costs
Company revises 2009 guidance
MELVILLE, N.Y. (February 24, 2009) - Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ: HSIC), the
largest provider of healthcare products and services to office-based
practitioners in the combined North American and European markets, today
reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 27, 2008.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $1.6 billion, a decrease
of 7.5% compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. This consists of a 1.8%
decline in local currencies (3.0% decline in internal net sales and 1.2% growth
from acquisitions) and a 5.7% decline related to foreign currency exchange (see
Exhibit A for details of sales growth). The Company previously announced an
initiative of reducing sales of certain lower-margin pharmaceutical products.
Excluding sales of those products, internal net sales in local currencies
declined 1.1%.
Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2008 was
$64.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share. These results include certain
restructuring costs (discussed below) of $23.2 million (or $0.18 per diluted
share, after-tax) related to the elimination of approximately 300 positions from
operations and the closing of several smaller facilities. Excluding the impact
of these restructuring costs, income from continuing operations for the quarter
was $80.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, an increase of 4.5% and 8.4%,
respectively, compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 (see Exhibit B for
reconciliation of GAAP net income and EPS to non-GAAP adjusted net income and
EPS). The Company recorded a loss on discontinued operations during the fourth
quarter of 2008 of $7.3 million (or $0.08 per diluted share, after-tax) related
to the previously announced decision to exit its wholesale ultrasound business.
"Although internal net sales declined slightly during the fourth
quarter, we are pleased to report that excluding restructuring costs, we had
solid operating margin expansion and 8% growth in diluted EPS from continuing
operations," said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Henry Schein. "Operating margin for the quarter, excluding restructuring
charges, reached 8.1%, which is up 76 basis points compared with the prior year
fourth quarter.
1
-more-
For the year our operating margin, excluding restructuring charges, was 6.9%,
which is up 35 basis points and is in line with our stated Company goal for
annual operating margin expansion."
Dental Group sales of $665 million declined 2.4%, consisting of a 0.3%
decline in local currencies (all internal) and a 2.1% decline related to foreign
currency exchange. The 0.3% internal decline in local currencies consists of a
Dental consumable merchandise sales increase of 1.4% and a Dental equipment
sales and service revenues decline of 3.6%.
"Our fourth quarter Dental Group results reflect the current economic
environment and uncertainty, particularly impacting overall demand for dental
equipment," commented Mr. Bergman.
Medical Group sales of $349 million declined 12.6%, consisting of a
13.5% decline in internally generated sales and 0.9% growth due to acquisitions.
Excluding sales of certain lower-margin pharmaceutical products, noted above,
internal Medical Group sales declined approximately 6% and declined
approximately 1% when also excluding sales of influenza vaccine. Fourth quarter
Medical Group sales growth was negatively impacted by the timing of influenza
vaccine sales compared to prior year.
"During the fourth quarter we sold 3.1 million doses of influenza
vaccine. For the year we sold 13.6 million doses, which is at the midpoint of
our guidance range," said Mr. Bergman. "We are also pleased with the results
from our animal health business. Sales to our veterinary customers represented
about 14% of the Medical Group's fourth quarter total sales and were up
approximately 4.3%."
For the quarter, International Group sales of $528 million declined
10.8%, consisting of 2.9% growth in local currencies (0.1% internally generated
and 2.8% from acquisitions) and a 13.7% decline related to foreign currency
exchange.
"Results in our International Group reflect a strengthening of the U.S.
dollar," added Mr. Bergman. "Yet we are pleased to report solid internal sales
growth in most of our major markets, with double-digit internal sales gains in
local currencies reported in Australia and New Zealand."
Technology and Value-Added Services Group sales of $42 million
increased 6.5% during the quarter, consisting of 10.9% growth in local
currencies (all internally generated) and a 4.4% decline related to foreign
currency exchange.
"During the quarter we saw continued strong growth in financial
services as equipment and practice financing transactions posted 10.4% growth,
which follows 30% growth reported in the previous quarter. Our electronic
services business also was strong during the quarter," stated Mr. Bergman.

Full Year Results
For the 2008 full year, net sales of $6.4 billion represent an increase
of 8.3% compared with 2007. This increase consists of 7.5% local currency
growth (1.3% internally generated and 6.2% from acquisitions) and 0.8% related
to foreign currency exchange. Excluding sales of certain lower-margin
pharmaceutical products, noted above, internal net sales growth in local
currencies was 3.6%.
Income from continuing operations for 2008 was $251.0 million, or $2.75
per diluted share. Excluding the charge in the third quarter of 2008 related to
the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy ($0.03 per diluted share, after-tax) and the
fourth quarter restructuring costs, income from continuing operations for 2008
was $270.0 million, or $2.96 per diluted share, reflecting growth of 14.4% and
14.3%, respectively, compared with 2007.
Stock Repurchase Plan
Henry Schein repurchased 568,410 shares of common stock during the
fourth quarter of 2008 for a total purchase price of approximately $28 million.
The impact of this share repurchase was immaterial to fourth quarter diluted
EPS. During 2008 the Company repurchased 1,621,710 shares of common stock for a
total purchase price of approximately $83 million. Approximately $58 million
remains authorized for future common stock repurchases.
Restructuring Costs
In November 2008 Henry Schein announced plans to eliminate
approximately 300 positions from its operations around the world and to close
several smaller facilities. This initiative is substantially complete. The
Company recorded costs associated with this initiative of $23.2 million in the
fourth quarter of 2008, and expects to record remaining costs of $1 million to
$3 million in the first quarter of 2009. Annual pretax cost savings from this
initiative are expected to be approximately $24 million to $27 million and are
included in our 2009 EPS guidance.
2009 EPS Guidance
"We are revising our full-year 2009 financial guidance due to worsening
economic conditions, our expectation for continued economic weakness and the
strengthening of the U.S. dollar," commented Mr. Bergman. Henry Schein's 2009
financial guidance now is as follows:
o 2009 diluted EPS is expected to be $3.11 to $3.26, representing growth
of 5% to 10% compared with reported 2008 results, excluding charges
related to the Lehman Brothers
3
- more -
bankruptcy, as well as restructuring costs. This compares with
previous guidance for 2009 diluted EPS of $3.27 to $3.36. The 2009
guidance does not include any restructuring costs expected to be
recorded during the year.
o For the first quarter of 2009, the Company expects diluted EPS to be in
the range of flat to growth in the low-single-digit percentages,
compared with the first quarter of 2008, excluding restructuring costs
expected to be recorded during the quarter, as described above.
o 2009 diluted EPS guidance is for current continuing operations
including completed or previously announced acquisitions, and does not
include the impact of potential future acquisitions, if any.

financial results today, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Individual investors are invited to listen to the conference call over the

differ materially from the forward-looking statements, expectations and
assumptions expressed or implied herein. All forward-looking statements made by
us are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future
performance. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance
and achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. These statements are identified by the use of such terms as
"may," "could," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "forecast,"

operations and financial condition, including factors that may affect our
business and future prospects, is contained in documents we have filed with the

SEC. These documents identify in detail important risk factors that could cause
our actual performance to differ materially from current expectations.
Risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ

financial markets; general economic conditions; competitive factors; changes in
the healthcare industry; changes in regulatory requirements that affect us;
risks associated with our international operations; fluctuations in quarterly
earnings; our dependence on third parties for the manufacture and supply of our
products; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions, including the
failure to achieve anticipated synergies; financial risks associated with
acquisitions; regulatory and litigation risks; the dependence on our continued
product development, technical support and successful marketing in the
technology segment; our dependence upon sales personnel and key customers; our
dependence on our senior management; possible increases in the cost of shipping
our products or other service issues with our third-party shippers; risks from
rapid technological change; risks from potential increases in variable interest
rates; possible volatility of the market price of our common stock; certain
provisions in our governing documents that may discourage third-party
acquisitions of us; and changes in tax legislation that affect us. The order in
which these factors appear should not be construed to indicate their relative
importance or priority.
We caution that these factors may not be exhaustive and that many of these
factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Accordingly, any forward-
